It’s long past the time of muumuus with floral prints.
Fashion castes are crumbling. They were created by power-hungry editors and snobby fashion designers who categorized people as skinny and wealthy and everyone else. Fashion utopia, which offers curvy women a variety of fashion choices that do not include polyester tent dresses is on the rise.
This article will give you the guidelines to follow, as well as the shops to visit, to improve your fashionable and voluptuous self. Kate Moss, you’re out!
Plus Size Fashion Rules
Designers still design their clothes for a 4 size (a shout out to the waif models, we love you too), and “plus-size” clothing is simply a larger size 4. Do not be afraid! Take these rules of size to heart, and you’ll see your style rise.
Monochrome is a good choice for your wardrobe.
By creating a long, uniform silhouette in a single color you can minimize your trouble areas.
Break out your heels
The heels will make your legs appear longer, and you’ll look thinner. Zappos.com offers a wide selection of heels and pumps from Etro, Roberto Cavalli and other designers.
The Low-Low rise is not an Option
Few people can pull off low-low rise pants, no matter their size.
Avoid crop jackets
The cropped jacket brings attention to the waistline and bottom. Buy jackets with a good structure that hits you just below the bottom.
You must have vertical lines
Vertical stripes can make you appear thinner because they draw the eyes up and down, rather than to either side.
Purchase boot-cut pants
The pencil-leg pant makes big butts appear even larger. To create an even more balanced appearance, choose pants with a small flare on the bottom.
You can find a tailor who is great.
Do not throw away those pants that fit perfectly because they are too long. For less than $20, a good tailor can hem your pants to the length you want.
